Group A

Ellie Carpenter's Lyon welcome Italian side, Roma, to Lyon in a reverse fixture of last week's game which saw the French side prevail 3-0. If last week's game is anything to go by, this game will surely be a fiery affair as 1st and 2nd in the group battle it out for every point.

Lyon comes into the game in fine form, winning 11-0 over the weekend against Saint-Étienne in a game that saw Carpenter pick up an assist. Three games remain in the UWCL group stage, and a win over Roma would put Lyon in pole position to claim 1st in Group A.

Group B

Daniela Galic's FC Twente will be hoping to get back in the winner's circle after facing a 7-0 defeat over Real Madrid in the reverse fixture last week. Twente currently sit in third place in the group, just three points shy of second and will be needing maximum points out of the game against the Spanish side to keep their UWCL hopes alive.

Sam Kerr's Chelsea will host Scottish side, Celtic, in their fourth game of the group stage. The Blues had a nervy start to the reverse fixture last week, falling behind early to Celtic, however, turning the tie around late to record a 2-1 win.

Sonia Bompastor's side currently sits at the top of Group B, and will be hoping for a more convincing performance when they host Celtic this time. An injury blow throughout the week will mean that Chelsea will be without experienced defender Kadeisha Buchanan for the reminder of the season, out with an ACL injury.

Arsenal's win over Juventus in the away leg last week saw the side make it back-to-back wins in the group stage and move into second in the group. Foord was on the scoresheet in the game and picked up an assist in the win over Juventus, while Cooney-Cross came off the bench and got the assist on Foord's goal. Catley helped Arsenal keep a clean sheet in their last meeting with the side, and will be hoping for the same when they face off again.

Group D

Last up, Mary Fowler and Alanna Kennedy's Manchester City will also be aiming to continue their perfect record in the group stage when they travel to Sweden to take on Hammarby. 

Gareth Taylor's side recorded a 2-0 win over Hammarby when they hosted them in Manchester last week, with second-half goals to Laura Blindkilde Brown and Aoba Fujino securing the win. Manchester City will be desperate to get back into winning ways after a disappointing defeat in the WSL to Chelsea over the weekend.
